Avonmore - Another car window shot. Even though the day was hot and it was almost noon, shooting in the shade made it possible to get some decent photos.

Amherst Island - Continuing the common summer birds theme, this is a species that will often allow you to pull up in your vehicle and get reasonably good shots. Not all birds 'look good'. We had to try several individuals before we found one we liked. It is also important to select the right background. We sized up options before driving closer because once we stopped, subsequent movement would probably send the bird off.

Massena - Interesting subjects are becoming more challenging to find at this time of the year so common birds move to the forefront.

Burnt Lands Provincial Park - I had the opportunity to revisit this area and got a few more shots of Grasshopper Sparrows very early in the morning. This species has unusual dabs of colour. It has a touch of ketchup on the lores and a splash of mustard on the leading edge of the wing.:)

Burnt Lands Provincial Park - This has become a difficult species to find, even in areas of suitable habitat. In this case a few pairs can be found breeding on a semi-open alvar with six other species of sparrows.

Ottawa - This is the eastern subspecies, which has a breeding range that doesn't get much further west than Ottawa. The bird has much more yellow than the western subspecies and is sometimes called the 'yellow' Palm.

Ottawa - Another relatively easy to find summer species but when one lands a few feet away you just have to take the shot. There is almost no vertical crop on this image.
